Eli has gotten better but part of the problem was all those dropped passes. Think of how many drives were stalled, first downs not made because of dropped passes. The receivers are finally more consistent. That is what they are getting paid to do; catch the ball. Notice the New England receivers. They catch the ball thrown in front of them, behind them and high and low. Eli does not say what I am saying directly if you listen to him. What he says is that: "People are making plays."
The other thing is that they seem a much better team without Shockey, who has dropped his share.
The other thing is this. A good receiver, if he cannot catch the ball, will not let the defender intercept. He will never give up on the play.
